Actually, the titles on my shelf are :

Oracle Database Administration - The essential reference (O'Reilly)
Oracle Essentials - Oracle 9i, Oracle 8i & Oracle8 (O'Reilly)
Oracle and Open Source - Tools and Applications (O'Reilly)
Oracle Desk Reference - The Professional's Companion (Harrison)
Special Edition Using SQL (Que)

The first one is a lifesaver when setting up a new server. The two
non-O'reilly books are good for general Oracle usage.
